97732 2014-2024 Toyota 4Runner Stealth Pod Installation Guide

1. Start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal.

2. Pull back about 2 feet of weather stripping from the door frame.
It is held on by friction and will pop right off.

3. With a plastic pry tool, pop off the SRS bolt cover.

4. With a 10mm socket, remove the single bolt that secures the A-pillar.

5. Once the bolt is removed, slide your hands around the back side and give the cover a tug.

6. It will pop free from its single plastic clip.
Carefully lift it up and out of the truck and bring it to a non-slip workbench.

7. When at the workbench, take a moment to locate the top of the A-pillar.

Since the SRS bolt cover is symmetrical, you could accidentally mark the wrong side and drill an access hole in the incorrect spot.

8. Place a dot with a marker in the center of the cable access hole inside the Stealth Pod. This will be where you will drill with the step bit.

9. As a precaution, place some painter’s tape around the end of the provided step bit so you don’t accidentally plunge the bit deeper than needed.

16mm for running a single cable, or 18mm if running two.

10. Start drilling slowly so the bit has a chance to bite. You don’t want it to walk from the starting point and damage the A-pillar.

11. Once you reach the 16mm mark from the front, turn the A-pillar over and enlarge the back side as well.

12. Continue until both sides of the hole are at the 16mm mark.

13. Check that your data cable(s) can easily pass through the hole you cut, enlarge if needed, then return to the truck.

14. Pull back the lower kick panel on the driver’s side. It is held in by a plastic clip.

You don’t need to fully remove this panel; just pry it back slightly so you can run the OBD-II cable through to the other side.

15. Thread the 4-pin side of the Banks OBD-II cable through towards the gap between the dashboard and the door frame.

16. You should be able to pass the cable through and run it up to the top of the dash.

17. Run the 4-pin cable through the back side of the A-pillar.

18. Carefully slide the A-pillar back into place, taking care not to snag the cable in the process.
The plastic clip should snap back in place and hold the A-pillar.

19. With your new Stealth Pod in hand, feed the 4-pin cable through the Stealth Pod as you line it up with the bolt hole.

20. Take the supplied bolt and washer, and start threading it in by hand first.

21. Snug it down with the provided hex key.

22. Grab your iDash and 4-Pin cable.

23. Connect the iDash. Leave about an inch of slack so you can adjust or remove the iDash later.

24. Slide the iDash into place.

25. Be sure the Banks logo on the front is level with the Banks logo on the Stealth Pod.

26. Back under the dashboard, coil up the extra length of OBD-II cable, and secure it with a zip-tie.

27. Snip off the ends of the zip-ties.

28. Secure the loop to the underside of the dash so that it’s up and out of the way.

29. Plug the OBD-II cable into the OBD-II port.

30. Reattach the lower kick panel to its single plastic clip.

31. Press the weather strip back into place around the door frame.

32. Reconnect the negative terminal on the battery.

33. Upon first startup, your iDash will be in “Standard” mode.
To set your iDash to the correct mode, press the top right arrow to enter the menu.

34. Scroll down to settings and press the right arrow to enter.

35. Press the right arrow again and select Toyota as your vehicle make. Now your iDash will reboot and unlock extra PIDs specific to Toyota’s ECM.

Now hit the road and enjoy your new iDash Stealth Pod.
